Biography

Brian Russell De Palma is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. A major figure of the New Hollywood generation, he is best known for work in the suspense, crime, and psychological thriller genres in a career spanning more than five decades.

Carrie (1976), his adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name, gained him prominence as a young filmmaker. De Palma enjoyed commercial success with Dressed to Kill (1980), The Untouchables (1987), and Mission: Impossible (1996), and made cult classics such as Greetings (1968), Hi, Mom! (1970), Sisters (1972), Phantom of the Paradise (1974), The Fury (1978), and Scarface (1983).

As a young director, De Palma dreamed of being the "American Jean-Luc Godard". His style is allusive: he paid homage to Alfred Hitchcock in Obsession (1976), Dressed to Kill, and Body Double (1984); Blow Out (1981) is based on Michelangelo Antonioni's Blowup (1966); and Scarface, his remake of Howard Hawks' 1932 film, is dedicated to Hawks and Ben Hecht.

De Palma's work has been criticized for its violence and sexual content but has also been championed by American critics such as Roger Ebert and Pauline Kael. In 2015, he was interviewed about his work in a well-received documentary by Noah Baumbach.
